published in the January 2020 list will be used
for the ECF U120 section and unrated players in
FIDE rated sections. If necessary players will
be transferred between sections to take account
of rating/grading movements after date of entry
(see below).
The FIDE Open, FIDE U2050 and FIDE U1825
sections will be both FIDE rated and ECF graded.
The ECF U120 section will be ECF graded.
Players without a current FIDE rating or ECF
grade must give details of estimated playing
strength, including any previously held grading,
or current grading from another body.
Ungraded or unrated players may not win a
best performance prize and, with the exception
of the FIDE Open, may only win 50% of any other
prize.
